My bosses over the years have always told me to think outside of the box. One even went as far as to buy me a book called the "Purple Cow" but I am with you on sticking to what works. You just have to set your company apart from the competition. But if you stick to what you know and continue to build on that who knows, maybe one day you will find you have landed outside of the box. Interesting Post.

I thought you were going to be a doomsday writer without giving anyone any hope that they can succeed as a business owner. But you fooled me. I've read several books on the subject which usually coincided with marketing strategies like Joe Vitale's book "The Power Of Outrageous Marketing". Why reinvent the wheel when it already works so well? Enhancements can always be done on anything as nothing is perfect. One activity Joe Vitale has his readers do is sit in a quiet place to think, have paper and pen handy, then pretend that you are exchanging your head with your mentor's head. For instance, if you want to think outside the box for marketing like Joe Vitale does, then pretend you are exchanging heads with him. If you want to think like Richard Paul Evans, so you can write a world famous book, then exchange heads with him. And how about starting your own online bookstore? Robert Allen has a company to help you do that so why not think like he does to form your own? As an example, see what you can do with a site like this: <a href="http://www.bookwormsunited.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.bookwormsunited.com</a> Why not push it to the limit? But be careful you don't break any copyright laws.

Consider how long it's been since our world has seen something truly life-changing - pardigm shifting - for example, the development of the telephone, or discovering the best way to harness electrical currents into energy for our homes, or having the ability to walk on the moon! These basic ideas have been expanded on, of course, but they are so monumentally historic that it's not often that other quirky scientists are able to dream up something previously unimaginable. Thanks for the reminder to be truly creative :) - Annie Great post.
